PH urged to join fight vs. climate change

An official from the European Union’s (EU’s) climate change commission said developing countries such as the Philippines should also be legally bound to draft and implement measures that would lead to a significant agreement on the fight against climate change at the Paris summit in 2015.

Connie Hedegaard, EU’s climate change commissioner, noted that there were improvements in the country in terms of awareness and project implementation. However, she said there is a need for countries to realize that developed countries, such as the members of EU, should not assume the full burden of fighting against climate change.
